So sad and bittersweet! Poor Lily, drawn between protecting herself and wanting to give in to what she wants. Excellent use of the lyrics weaving in and out - it was all very well-placed. And I liked the ice-crusted window bit, it was pretty imagery. :)

I don't read much about Lily as an Auror, so it was nice to imagine her in that way. She's got a very strong voice and personality, so being an Auror would really suit her well. This one-shot made me realize that she lived such a short life...she was my age when she died. So it's definitely a good thing that she gave in to what she wanted, so that she could have James and Harry and experience that kind of love before she died so young. It's really just so tragic...and I felt that in this songfic, the tragedy all around them that was slowly consuming the world, knocking them off one by one.

Author's Response: Yeah, so sad. I'm the age she was when she died, too. It's disturbing to see anything about anyone dying the same age or younger than yourself.
